Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this well-cared-for Winooski ranch offers one-level living and a private and convenient location that's hard to beat! Backing directly up to the Gilbrook Nature Area-42 acres of city-owned land with ponds, forest, and over a mile of wooded trails-you'll enjoy peaceful surroundings and easy access to year-round outdoor recreation. Inside, the layout is functional and inviting, with a spacious living room featuring a cozy wood stove, a large kitchen with plenty of cabinet and counter space, three nicely sized bedrooms, and a full bath. The home also includes heat pump A/C to keep you cool on warm summer days, an attached oversized one-car garage with space for a tool bench or hobby area, and an unfinished basement with the laundry area and room for storage. Out back, a large fenced yard provides privacy and space to relax or play, along with raspberry, blueberry and elderberry bushes, as well as a shed for extra storage. In the front yard, you'll find a thriving edible garden with garlic, rhubarb, asparagus, and a peach tree-perfect for anyone who loves to garden or cook with fresh ingredients. Located just minutes from I-89 and all the vibrancy of downtown Winooski, with quick access to Burlington, the UVM Medical Center, Essex Junction, and Five Corners-this home offers the perfect blend of a serene setting with everyday convenience in a truly prime location!
